She is best known for her roles south Indian films, TV commercials, dance performances in films in special appearance, and for a reality television show. She has acted in 14 films across 5 languages and has appeared in over 50 ad films.[3]

Early life

Sana Khan was born on August 21, 1987 in Mumbai[4] to Muslim parents. She was raised in Mumbai. Her father is originally from Kannur, Kerala; and her mother, Saeeda, is from Mumbai[5] Sana completed her high school (12th grade) from Mumbai and did not pursue any further studies as she became involved in modeling at an early age.[6]

Career - Films

Sana started doing modeling assignments after completing her high school.[6] She made her acting debut in the low-budget adult Hindi film Yehi Hai High Society, which was released in March 2005.[7] She subsequently started appearing in television commercials and other ad films.

Sana shot into limelight with her debut Tamil film Silambattam, produced by Lakshmi Movie Makers,[3] which was released in December 2008.[8] Silambarasan, the film's lead actor, who had vainly tried to sign her for a role in his film Kettavan, called her again for the female lead role in Silambattam after seeing her ad with Shahrukh Khan.[5] She said in an interview with The Hindu, "Silambarasan came to Mumbai looking for a fresh face for his film Silambattam. There he saw me and selected me. I knew I had to work hard to make it big in the Tamil film industry".[3]Sana regards the film as her first break.[3] She received praise for her portrayal of a talkative, tomboyish brahmin village girl named Janu in the film,[5] and won the 2009 ITFA Best New Actress Award in Singapore.[2][9] She expressed in an interview, "That was the most memorable day for me. I was so happy. That was so overwhelming."[9]

In March 2010, her next Tamil film, Thambikku Indha Ooru, was released. However, the film flopped at the box office.[10] Later that year, Sana ventured into the Telugu film industry, appearing in NTR Arts' Kalyanram Kathi, which was released in November 2010.[11] Sana was next seen in the February 2011 bilingual thriller Gaganam / Payanam - shot in Telugu and Tamil, respectively - which was based on an airplane high-jack theme.[12] The film received positive critical acclaim.[13]

In May 2011, Sana stepped into Kannada films with Golden Movies' Kool...Sakkath Hot Maga starring Ganesh.[14] In September 2011,[15] her next Tamil film, Aayiram Vilakku, was released, in which Sana played the role of a Madurai girl.[9] Sana was last seen in the March 2012 Telugu film Mr. Nookayya alongside Manoj Manchu, where she played the role of a waitress in a pub,[16] adding glamour to the film.[17] Sana will be making her Malayalam film debut with Climax that is loosely based on the Hindi film The Dirty Picture and will be playing the role of late South Indian actress Silk Smitha.[18][19] Sana has also signed up her sixth Tamil film, Thalaivan with Bas, which is being produced by Blue Ocean Pictures.[20]

Dance performances in films and music videos

Sana is known for her dance performances in films in a special appearance - popularly known as item numbers in Bollywood parlance. She gave her first such performance on a song in the Tamil film E,[1] which was released in October 2006.[21] In July 2007, she appeared in a music video in the Hindi film Bombay to Goa.[1][22] Sana acted in Abbas Ali Mirza's music video for his album Sitam – Peak of Passion.[23] The video was shot in July 2007 in Gemini Studios by Colossus.[24] Her next dance role was for the November 2007 Hindi movie, Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal,[25] in which her performance on the song Billo Rani[1] soared her popularity.[26] Apart from films, Sana also did a dance performance on TV for Zee TV's drama program, Meri Doli Tere Angana in one episode.[27]

TV commercials

Sana has acted in over 50 ad films,[3] a few of them with the most famous Bollywood actors. Notable among those is a cosmetic commercial with Shahrukh Khan, which was directed by Shirish Kunder in July 2007. In an interview with DNA, Sana said, "I had never imagined that I would get to work with SRK. The reason I was thrilled was because he had to put a rose in my hair and compliment me on my fair, flawless complexion."[23] She has also done a commercial for the deodorant brand, Secret Temptation. She has featured in three TV commercials with Salman Khan, two of those for Yatra.com where she plays the role of a secretary in one and a cheating wife in the other. She has done an advertisement with Akshay Kumar for Xbox 360 video game console.[5] Other celebrities that Sana has worked with in ad films include Hrithik Roshan, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh.[9]

Bigg Boss

In October 2012, Sana entered the Indian celebrity reality TV show Bigg Boss Season 6 as a contestant. Before entering the show, she said in an interview, “I am going to flaunt my age and the fact that I am the youngest. I am going into the house without any preparation. I want to be spontaneous and show the world the real me.”[28]

Controversies

In March 2007, Sana's TV commercial for the men's underwear brand, Amul Macho, hit the TV screens where she was seen provocatively scrubbing and washing an underwear, simulating an orgasm.[29] It created a strong controversy and was banned by the Indian government on the grounds of sexual profanity.[30] Sana responded in an interview, "Forget about the ban and people taking out morchas (protests) against me and burning my posters in Bombay (Mumbai). At the end of it people from the creative field have loved it."[30] However, the company re-hired Sana, shot a sequel to that commercial with a different theme, and released it to the small screens in February 2008.[30]

In May 2012, a section of online news portals reported Sana Khan, along with a few other small time models, has been arrested by the Bangalore City Police under prostitution charges. Reports also emerged indicating that Sana scams men by promising them roles in the films.[31] Later, it was revealed that the girl actually arrested for prostitution happened to have the same name, and it was not her.[32] Sana reacted in an interview, "My reputation has been tarnished. I am going to consult my lawyer, and might file a defamation case against all the online portals that carried the wrong information."[31]

Personal life

Sana grew up in a typical traditional Indian middle-class family. She said in an interview, "I come from a conservative background with absolutely no filmi (film-related) connections. But my mother stood by me when I started my modeling career and continues to support me even after I joined the film industry."[5]
